Lubbock's are fantastic little fairy wrasses!! Had one a while back, one of the few I didn't lose to jumping, but one of many I did lose to that stupid ritteri anemone and it's little trick of killing fish with its invisible death ray. I lost a rubriventralis that way too (another totally underrated fairy wrasse IMHO - have one right now and he displays like crazy. Looks awesome.)

But one habit he that he does have that has me right on edge - at around the time the lights go off, he's jumping for what appears to be the sheer fun of it. Nobody is chasing him, he's not going after food - he's just literally jumping and skipping over the water surface. Lasts about 5-10 minutes. I figure it's only a matter of time before this high-risk recreational jumping activity is going to end badly. I need to figure out how to get some netting up stat.
